Hi everyone, some of you may know me already... for
those who don't I'm a huge game fan who's #1 gaming obsession is Ultima :)
I've been a member of the group for a little while now but haven't posted yet
since I didn't have too much useful insight to add to previous threads.
That being said, there were actually 10 Runes of
Virtues for Ultima VI... besides the eight virtues there were also Infinity
& Singularity. As to their fates, I'd love to know as well... If I recall
correctly the lucky winners didn't actually have to send them back to Origin,
merely submit a photo of themselves with the rune. So some may still be out
there... Drawings of them can be found in the "Star in Ultima VII" contest
insert with some copies of U6.
As for the top of my most wanted listed... that'd
have to be an original Akalabeth for the same reason as you Pedro, it is
the origin of an amazing legacy... Although not quite RG's first game. For
that reason I'd also have to add "Number 1" to my list, but hey any of RG's 28
pre-Akalabeth Teletype games would be cool ;)

This is one of mine too,
I'd even say top spot. :) Vol. 2 used to be another obsession but I managed to
acquire it last year. Others are:
*Ultima 6 virtue runestones -- the
special trinket on U6 that, if returned to Origin, would grant you the right
to star in Ultima 7. Only 8 copies alledgedly exist (one per virtue). As far
as I know the location of none is known. Joe, do you have any insight on this
matter? :)
*Ultima 6 10th
anniversary edition -- Being the most special version of my favorite game,
it's on my no-hurries-I-will-get-one-eventually list along with U2 big box
;)
*Akalabeth -- I have no desire
whatsoever of acquiring a Mt Drash (it's not a Lord British game, so not
really an Ultima IMHO) but Garriott's first game is on my wanted list.
Then there are heaps of other special
editions of games I like, like the Compuserve Daggerfall, the Arena Deluxe
Edition, the Darklands Master Edition, etcetc
